How much do bi-folding security gates cost in Somerset?
Most bi-folding security gates in Somerset fall within £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
A bi-folding security gate is made of hinged leaves of vertical bars that fold against each other as they slide along a top track. It covers wide openings like a retractable grille but folds into fewer, flatter panels with no scissor lattice.

- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts

Things to decide before you order
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Rules that apply in England
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Bi-folding security gates in Somerset: questions
Which towns in Somerset do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Somerset, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Yeovil and Bridgwater, and in other towns across the area.
What is the difference between a bi-fold gate and a retractable grille?
A retractable grille uses a scissor lattice that concertinas; a bi-fold gate uses rigid hinged leaves that fold flat. Bi-folds look more architectural; retractables fold into a narrower stack.
Do bi-fold gates need a floor track?
They need some bottom guidance, which can be a recessed channel or discreet floor pins rather than a raised track.
Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
